Lumpectomy
Hi lovelies I’ts crunch time for me with decision making for surgery post chemo. I’ d love to hear from anyone who’s had a successful lumpectomy +/- recon and how it all went. Tossing up between...
Hi @Caz1,
I chose the lumpectomy. There was never any doubt in my mind that was the way I wanted to go if at all possible. I haven't had reconstruction as the surgeon did a good job and there is only minimal difference. 14d boobs vs 19mm lump.
Like @temple, that ones a little perkier than the other but not noticeable to anybody when I'm out and about. Looks ok nekked as well :)
Due to where the lesion was located I have ended up with a scar that is about 6cm but it has faded out with time. It's a bit hard thanks to the radiation but nothing drastic.
ER/PR + HER2neg grade 2 stage 2b 5/24 nodes positive.
It's one of those things that's totally personal preference if you are able to have a choice in the matter.
All the best with your decision lovely.
xoxo
